Why concrete in London needs the right spec
Southern Ontario concrete is soaked, frozen, thawed and salted again every winter. Water gets into the surface, freezes, expands and flakes the top layer off. That is why exterior flatwork is generally specified with air-entrained concrete, a compacted gravel base, control joints and a sealer, and why cheap shortcuts show up after a winter or two.
Local rules matter too. The City of London limits driveway widths, requires permits for widening and curb cuts, and does not allow front-yard parking. Our guides explain each of these in plain language.
- Read about salt and frost damage before you pick a mix or sealer.
- Check the driveway widening permit guide before you change a width.
- Compare concrete finishes before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a concrete driveway cost in London, Ontario?
A published Ontario price guide puts driveways at roughly $2,500 to $7,000 as whole projects, depending on size, base work and finish. That guide is based on Ottawa-area contractors, so treat it as an estimate and get written quotes. See the driveway cost guide.
Do I need a permit to widen my driveway in London?
The City of London says a driveway widening requires a permit from the street department, and removing a curb needs a curb cut permit from the City Engineer. Confirm the width limit for your lot with the City first. See the widening permit guide.
What time of year can concrete be poured in southern Ontario?
Most residential flatwork is poured from spring through fall. Winter pours are possible with cold-weather protection but cost more and carry more risk.
Why does concrete scale and flake in winter?
Water absorbed into the surface freezes and expands, and de-icing salts make the damage worse, especially on concrete that was not air-entrained or sealed. Read the salt and frost damage guide.
Is a concrete contractor in Ontario licensed?
There is no provincial licence specific to concrete flatwork. Ask instead for liability insurance, a current WSIB clearance certificate, references and a detailed written quote.
Which areas can I request a quote for?
Requests are welcome from London and nearby communities including St. Thomas, Strathroy-Caradoc, Komoka and Dorchester. See areas for details.
